Buying and Selling: How do I make sure that Im not paying too much for a TI related item?
This is subjective and the answer depends on who you talk to. Even then it could change from time to time from the exact same people. For example, I’m almost done with my Micropendium Collection of magazines. The magazine ran from Feb-84′ through Jun-99′ and had just over 150 issues. All I have left to collect are the very last two issues and I’m done. If some one said I will sell you the two for $30.00, I would probably buy it just to finsih the collection. While 1 year ago I would only spend $30 bucks for about 30-40 issues. The change in value and why I’m purchasing has changed. It has gone from buying many to build the collection to very specific and narrow to finish it. The same thing applies to you and your purchases. Here is what you can do though. Watch eBay and see what things sell for. Ask questions on the Yahoo list and see what people will pay for. Read the collecting lists and information on the forums page of ti-994a.com, it has some good information too. No single source
